"You… how dare you strike me!"
Yu Haoyun gritted his teeth, his face contorted in disbelief.
Yu Chen smirked. "Why wouldn't I dare?"
With that, Yu Chen delivered another slap, leaving five distinct fingerprints on the other side of Yu Haoyun's face.
Humiliation surged!
A seething fury ignited within Yu Haoyun's chest, leaving only one thought in his mind: "Kill him, eliminate this disgrace!"
"You seek death!"
Yu Haoyun roared in rage, and a dragon-shaped shadow several feet tall materialized behind him.
A formidable dragon's aura permeated the Dragon Soul Hall.
Many of the Yu clan's younger members with weaker martial souls trembled uncontrollably.
This was the dragon clan's bloodline pressure; higher-tier martial souls inherently suppressed those of lower tiers.
At this moment, the clan members gazed at Yu Chen with silent eyes, sneering internally.
Why provoke him?
Had you endured, you would have remained the stable young patriarch.
Foolish to challenge Young Master Tianxin!
Just as everyone believed Yu Chen was doomed, he displayed no sign of concern.
Instead, he smiled. "An eighth-grade Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—impressive?"
Yu Haoyun sneered. "At this juncture, still spouting nonsense."
Yu Chen maintained his smile. "An eighth-grade Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—impressive?"
Yu Haoyun snorted, preparing to retort.
Suddenly, his expression froze.
He noticed Yu Chen's right hand resting on the Dragon Soul Crystal.
But that wasn't the issue. The crystal was trembling, even cracking.
Unbelievable!
This Dragon Soul Crystal was the essence left by the first Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon on the continent.
Yu clan members absorbed its energy during martial soul awakening to enhance their strength.
Even centuries ago, the strongest descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family only caused the crystal to tremble nine times during awakening.
Now, the crystal was violently shaking and fracturing.
"You… Yu Chen, do you dare damage the clan's treasure?"
Witnessing this, Yu Haoyun was so shocked he stammered.
Yu Chen continued smiling. "An eighth-grade Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—impressive?"
Then, Yu Chen applied slight pressure with his right hand, reducing the Dragon Soul Crystal to powder.
Simultaneously, a profound dragon roar emanated from within him.
Roar!
This dragon's cry seemed to originate from ancient times, transcending space and echoing through the Dragon Soul Hall.
Not just the Dragon Soul Hall!
It reverberated throughout the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's territory, the imperial city, and even the entire empire!
The dragon's roar shook the world!
In the clan's base area, dark clouds gathered, lightning intertwined, and blue bolts as thick as arms descended, as if tearing the sky asunder!
Amidst the dragon's roar, a cyan dragon hundreds of feet long emerged from Yu Chen's body, looming amidst the clouds above him!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the colossal dragon appeared, Yu Haoyun, attempting to summon his martial soul, was compelled to the ground!
Not only Yu Haoyun, but all present members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family also prostrated!
This was the dragon bloodline's coercion!
The Azure Dragon manifested, and all dragons submitted!
"Impossible!"
"What martial soul did he awaken?! Such presence exudes immense oppression!"
"Unbelievable! How can he surpass me!"
Yu Haoyun and his clansmen felt the pressure from Yu Chen's body, trembling incessantly, eyes filled with disbelief!
They never imagined that a 'waste' like Yu Chen could awaken such a terrifying martial soul!
Especially Yu Haoyun, overwhelmed by the Azure Dragon's presence, struggled futilely against the pressure.
The bloodline's suppression was insurmountable for someone who had just awakened their martial soul!
No matter his efforts, he couldn't rise! Even his martial soul seemed fearful, utterly unresponsive!
Yu Haoyun transformed from his earlier arrogance to a defeated state, lying prostrate!
Like a defeated dog!
"What martial soul did the young master awaken!"
Even the elders overseeing the awakening, under the Azure Dragon's bloodline pressure, trembled, eyes wide with shock!
"What is happening?!"
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's elder hall, three elders and several consuls felt the internal pressure, exchanged glances, and rushed towards the Dragon Soul Hall!
"A mutated martial soul?"
At the Blue Lightning Peak, the sect's patriarch, clad in blue-gold robes, stood atop the mountain, frowning slightly, heading towards the Dragon Soul Hall!
…
Meanwhile, tens of millions of miles away in the Star Luo Empire.
Several elders in white brocade robes looked towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's direction.
"This is…"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's direction?!"
"It seems a significant figure has emerged there!"
The lead elder, with white hair, hands behind his back, eyes gleaming.
"The emergence of such a figure will alter the Wuhun Continent's dynamics!"
"Such a formidable martial soul, the world reacts!"
"Our family recently produced two geniuses, yet the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's prodigy surpasses them."
Beside him, other elders in brocade robes also looked towards the Heaven Dou Empire, faces filled with shock.
Behind them, martial souls resembling white tigers with heterochromatic eyes manifested!
…
Simultaneously, in a secluded mountain range, the Clear Sky Sect of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Several elders in linen robes stood in the air, gazing towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's direction.
"This is…"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's direction?!"
"It seems a significant figure has emerged there!"
The lead elder, with white hair, hands behind his back, exhaled deeply.
"Such potent dragon clan pressure—could it be a ninth-grade bloodline?!"
"Or perhaps an existence beyond the ninth grade!"
The other elders, sensing the distant pressure, were filled with astonishment!
"The emergence of such a figure will overturn the Wuhun Continent's balance."
"Tang Hao, where are you?"
Beside them stood a middle-aged man in gray robes—the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect!
…
Beyond the Clear Sky Sect, countless factions within the Heaven Dou Empire were drawn by the Azure Dragon's might!
At the empire's center, within the Spirit Hall—the paramount authority of soul masters.
The Pope of the Spirit Hall sat on the throne, scepter in hand, gazing towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's direction.
"Is this divine power?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has birthed a prodigy."
Bibi Dong, usually aloof, now displayed shock upon sensing the Azure Dragon's power.
"Monitor the actions of the last three sects."
"Especially the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."
"I won't allow anyone from their clan to threaten the Spirit Hall!"
The Pope, gripping the scepter, solemnly addressed the Spirit Hall elders.
Countless factions within the Heaven Dou Empire were captivated by the Azure Dragon's might!
Even em
